Chapter 930: I can’t bear it anymore, I’ll just start tearing it apart
Grandpa Qin saw this and was very grateful. He told Qin Xiaogu to take some money and order ten cooked chickens and ten cooked ducks from Lu's Inn and Old Song's Restaurant respectively, to give the soldiers an extra meal.
Meanwhile, Qin Xiaomi and the others were still busy, carrying two boxes of prepared medicine to Elder Qiong: "Elder Qiong, this is a new deworming medicine that the Qin family's herbal medicine workshop is giving away to the students free of charge."
"The order and method of taking the medicine, dietary restrictions, and precautions such as not being able to take it temporarily if you are sick are all written on a slip of paper and hidden in each large medicine packet. Please remember to take it out and read it before taking the medicine."
"Alright, I've got it." Old Master Qiong opened the box again and checked a few medicine packets. Seeing that there were indeed notes with instructions inside, he smiled and said, "Young Master Qin is very thorough in his work. No wonder Master always praises you."
Old Xun urged, "Stop with this nonsense. Once you've checked everything, hurry up and sign and put your fingerprint here so we can take the medicine back and use it tonight. Then we can give you feedback tomorrow."
"Yes, Master." Master Qiong replied. To ensure the safety of the students and to silence them, he also had the doctors from the Ying, Shi, and Lu families who were accompanying them check the medicine packet.
After several doctors confirmed that the medicine was safe and effective, Qiong Lao, along with Ying Zilin, Shi Songxin, and Lu Qian, signed and pressed their fingerprints on the medicine dispensing booklet.
"Alright, Master Qiong and the students have finished collecting their medicines," Zhu Xuewei called out, then put away the medicine collection registration book.
The students then carried the two boxes of medicine and prepared to return to Taifu Restaurant.
"Master, when will you return to the restaurant?" Qiong Lao asked.
Old Xun said, "I won't be going back for the next few days. I'll stay at the herbal medicine shop. Don't try to persuade me. I'm still a long-term worker for the Qin family and I have to stay and help them."
The students frowned and began to plead, "Grandmaster, Grandmaster, you are the teacher of renowned scholars, and you are already advanced in years, how can you..."
They chattered like tens of thousands of ducks.
Finally, it was Master Qiong who said, "Alright, the Duke of Yan approved of Master's job as a long-term worker for the Qin family, so let's not stop him... Master, I'll go back now and come to help you with your work tomorrow."
Old Xun waved his hand, signaling him to get lost.
Just as the students were leaving, Liu Fangyu finally arrived carrying a large dressing case. When he looked it over, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
His mother has finally achieved something this time, successfully using Qin Liupo's connections to get close to Qin Mei.
Good, good, good. This is a rare opportunity; he must succeed.
Liu Fangyu quickened his pace, and was already jogging.
Zhong Baihu narrowed his eyes... What were the Liu family mother and son up to? But in public, bah, powerful families are most adept at playing their so-called 'open schemes' in public!
Fearing something might happen, Commander Zhong signaled several soldiers to follow Liu Fangyu to ensure that they could stop the mother and son from going mad in time.
"Sister, Fang Yu is here!" Liu Zhengshi was overjoyed, but she didn't move an inch as she took Qin Liupo's arm and waved to Liu Fang Yu: "Fang Yu, come over to your Aunt Qin Liu. You're really inconsiderate, making your Aunt Qin Liu wait for so long."
"That's right, Fang Yu, if you hadn't come soon, your auntie would have gone home," Granny Qin complained, she was really getting impatient.
"Sixth Aunt, please calm down. It was my fault. I'll order a feast and send it to your house another day to apologize." Liu Fangyu smiled gently and sincerely, but his heart was bleeding.
The reason he took so long to return was because he was picking out gold jewelry... He really couldn't bear to give gold jewelry to a lowly person like Granny Qin.
It should be noted that the Liu family only had one set of gold-plated masks, which was given to Granny Qin. When his mother went to the banquet again, she would have no gold-plated masks to wear.
Without such jewelry to make an appearance, the managers of the powerful families would surely think that the Liu family had fallen out of favor and would no longer give the Liu family face. But giving silver hairpins would be too plain and could not be worn at a wedding banquet, unless it was for a funeral.
Gritting his teeth, Liu Fangyu still brought the set of gold-plated face masks, and also brought an extra pair of gold cloves, thinking that he would give the gold cloves to Qin Mei later when he gave the gold-plated face masks to Qin Liupo.
"Sixth Aunt, this gold headdress is a thank-you gift from your nephew. It suits you very well. Would you like to try it on?" Liu Fangyu opened the large dressing case, and in an instant, a gentle golden light emanated from it, like the glow of the setting sun reflected on water.
"My God, it really is a golden-headed noodle! This golden-headed noodle is so beautiful!" Granny Qin exclaimed with delight, unable to resist touching the golden-headed noodle.
Grandma Qin, Qin Xiaomi, and Aunt Qin couldn't hold back any longer and wanted to tell Aunt Qin to stop, but Qin Mei stopped them.
Everyone turned to look at Qin Mei.
Qin Mei shook her head at them, raising a calm smile... Don't rush, and there's no need to stop them. She wanted to see what the Liu family mother and son were up to.
Furthermore, the Liu family mother and son have been harassing her mother for so long; it's time for a resolution.
Qin Xiaomi was happy... Now, Aunt Mei was able to try to overcome difficulties on her own.
Since that's the case, they'll just have to bear with it for now and see what kind of bad tricks the Liu family mother and son are up to.
Whew, Liu Zhengshi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the Qin family hadn't come to interfere. She even thought... Heh, it seems that the Qin family can't stand having an old maid in the family and wants to kick Qin Mei out as soon as possible.
Liu Fangyu gave her a meaningful look.
Madam Liu Zheng understood and took out a small box from her dressing case. She opened it and said, "Sister Qin, look! This headdress has an extra pair of golden lilacs, shaped like flower buds. They're perfect for unmarried girls... Sister, why don't you give these golden lilacs to Sister Mei? They'll suit her perfectly."
After saying this, without waiting for Qin Liupo's reply, he took out the golden lilacs and walked towards Qin Mei, saying with a smile, "Sister Mei, come, try on Aunt Liu's pair of golden lilacs. You will definitely look very beautiful wearing them."
Everyone present was truly astonished by this action.
Is Liu Zhengshi alright? She openly gave jewelry to an unmarried girl, and this jewelry was brought by Liu Fangyu, an adult male.
Grandma Qin was so angry she was trembling. Just as she was about to explode, she heard a whooshing sound. It was Qin Mei who had swung out a long stick.
The long stick was aimed directly at Liu Zhengshi's collarbone.
This was not a feint; it was a powerful and effective move that directly blocked Liu Zhengshi's advance, preventing her from taking another step no matter how hard she tried.
Liu Zhengshi was both shocked and furious... You wretched girl, how dare you embarrass me in public! Once you marry into my Liu family, I will pretend to die of illness and then sell you into prostitution, just like the Fang family in Xiangnan Town treated that Baixi girl!
"Oh, Mei-jie, as expected of Master Qin's cousin, your martial arts are truly excellent." After rambling on to ease the atmosphere, Madam Liu continued, "Mei-jie, come, try on these golden lilacs, they suit you very well."
Qin Mei smiled, and perhaps because she had spent so much time with Qin Xiaomi, her smile had a bit of a 'Qin Xiaomi flavor' about it.
Upon seeing this, Liu Fangyu felt uneasy.
Old Man Xun: "..."
I mourn for the reputation of you, Liu family mother and son.
The next moment, Qin Mei asked with a smile, "I've heard that the Liu and Zheng families are both aristocratic families, and aristocratic families value rules the most, especially the rules for their servants. They enforce them very strictly. How come you, Liu Zhengshi, don't understand any rules at all?"
"Qin Mei, shut up!" Liu Zhengshi blurted out in anger. At this moment, she really wanted to rush up and tear Qin Mei's clothes to shreds, ruining her reputation completely!
Ha, that's hilarious. With so many members of the Qin family present, how could you possibly get close to Qin Mei?
